The most beautiful hotels in Luberon: our best addresses

Here’s our selection of the best hotels in the Luberon, from luxurious bastides and luxury resorts to Provencal farmhouses planted in the garrigue and addresses perched in the heart of the emblematic villages of this famous corner of Provence.

The Luberon region, ideal for relaxing but also for sporting or gastronomic getaways, is brimming with hotels and other charming addresses. Here’s a selection.

Hôtel Capelongue, Bonnieux | A Provencal jewel in the heart of the Luberon

How is the hotel? In the Vaucluse hinterland, perched high above Bonnieux, Domaine de Capelongue has recently joined the Beaumier group.With 57 rooms and suites designed by architects JAUNE - divided between the sheepfold, the 18th-century bastide and the dovecote - the 5-hectare estate is distinguished by its typical hinterland charm: rendered walls, tiled floors, ochre colors, warm woodwork and, of course, unobstructed views from the terraces and balconies. The silence of the hamlet is broken only by the sound of the Mistral wind and the song of the cicadas. Recently enlarged, the vacation village-like hotel now boasts a charming central square, a fountain, a library and a café, bringing together guests in search of conviviality.

Gastronomy? The Domaine de Capelongue offers two restaurants committed to respecting the environment. La Bastide, which boasts one Michelin star, is orchestrated by chef Noël Bérard, who delivers deep, spontaneous, local gastronomic cuisine, such as grilled green Mallemort asparagus or marinated sliced Luberon veal. La Bergerie, chef Mathieu Guivarch's wood-fired Provencal restaurant, has been refurbished and enlarged, with an open-plan dining room and terrace overlooking Bonnieux. Finally, at Café Capelongue, the afternoon is filled with small plates to share or not: beignets de fleur de zucchini, panisse croustillante et aïoli, salaison de ventrèche de thon rouge, tomme de chèvre frais au pistou...

Wellness? Guests can take advantage of a swimming pool, swim lane, Roman bath, cryogenic bath and Biologique Recherche's made-to-measure treatment menu, a temple to well-being that also includes a fitness center, hammam, 3 treatment rooms and a fitness room. Early in the morning, the day gets off to a good start with a yoga session in the gardens or an electric bike ride through the surrounding countryside. In the evening, the sunset and the panoramic view over the valley catch the eye until, at nightfall, a big screen takes over: make way for an open-air cinema session.

Good to know? Near the village of Bonnieux, one of France's most beautiful villages, the estate's landscaped park, new swimming pool and spa on the Claparèdes plateau invite you to contemplate the surrounding nature. Avignon and Aix are the nearest TGV stations.

Coquillade Provence Resort & Spa | A five-star resort and boutique hotel between Luberon and Ventoux

The setting? In the midst of a converted organic vineyard, Coquillade Provence Resort & Spa is located in Gargas, on a hilltop facing the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon, just a stone's throw from its famous "Golden Triangle". Housed in an old hamlet that has been completely renovated, the hotel comprises six Provencal houses in pastel hues, set around more contemporary buildings. The hotel's village atmosphere is based on its traditional architecture and the silence imposed by the 30 hectares of vines surrounding the estate.

Wellness? The hotel boasts one of Provence's finest spas, which has won numerous awards: Best Luxury Day Spa in Western Europe, Best Luxury Spa in Europe at the World Luxury Spa Awards (2018). Covering an area of 2000 m2, the wellness area offers impressive voluptuousness with its palette of treatments and massages from the four corners of the globe: Hawaiian massage with its invigorating, purifying powers inspired by island tradition, or Moroccan massage that releases toxins and invigorates the whole body. In the spa, ice fountains, cold baths, a sauna overlooking the vineyards, an indoor pool, a steam room and a vast relaxation room invite you to let go. This prodigious wellness area extends outside with two huge pools lined with deckchairs and a jacuzzi under olive trees, facing the Luberon massif. Idyllic.

The hotel? With 21 rooms and 42 suites, this five-star hotel and Relais & Châteaux member remains on a human scale. All suites are housed in traditional Provencal houses, combining exposed stonework, light tones and terraces overlooking lavender fields and vineyards. The establishment also boasts three restaurants: the gourmet L'Avelanthe Provençal bistro Les Vignes with its large terrace overlooking the vineyards, and the poolside Cipressa for dishes with an Italian flair. If you fancy a private pool, opt for the hotel's Pool Suite or the large Bastide les Vallats, a private villa 20 minutes from the hotel.

Good to know? The five-star hotel is a real "Vélo & Châteaux": just below the hotel is the Cavalon cycle route, a 41-km former railroad line transformed into a fully secured and equipped cycle path, offering an ideal starting point for two-wheeled tours. The track passes through some of the most beautiful villages in the area, including Lacoste and Bonnieux. Less than two kilometers from the hotel, the Pont Julien - a Roman bridge dating from the 3rd century BC - runs alongside the track and is ideal for a family picnic or a rest by the river.

What makes the difference? The spa and wellness area, the figurehead of the hotel in the heart of nature, and its bicycle rental center from Swiss brand BMC (specialist in top-of-the-range bicycles). Nestled under an elegant marquee, the BMC showroom is run by Karl Guillois, former mechanic to Thomas Voeckler, who informs visitors about the best routes to take and advises them according to their level. Champions' bikes (road bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes) are available for sale or hire. A godsend for cycling enthusiasts who want to pedal up to the Luberon massif or climb the nearby Mont Ventoux! The estate's signposted hiking and jogging trails, tennis court and well-equipped gyms and yoga studios offer a wide range of other sporting activities.
